maedori

Look at this! This is an album of maedori. In Japan, most of girls who are approaching Coming-of-Age Day take pictures with a long-sleeved kimono. I received the album of maedori a few days ago. On 28th November, I did maedori at Wedding Box which is the store of lending costumes for Wedding and Coming-of-Age Day. It was so cold day. On that day, I went to the beauty salon to have my hair set. I put on a beige hair ornament. Of course, it is the shape of rose! To my surprise, a man made it for me. I put on 2 long-sleeved kimono for maedori. One is my mother's long-sleeved kimono and another is mine. My mother's kimono is light pink and my kimono is deep pink. I did various poses for pictures. Maybe, I got a photographer to take about 100 pictures. I had a lot of fun! After taking pictures, I chose 14 pictures for the album with my mother. It was so hard for us to choose 14 pictures, but it was fun. At 4 p.m. maedori finished! After that, I visited my grandparents with my mother's long-sleeved kimono. They look happy. At 8 p.m. I got home. I had put on a long-sleeved kimono for about 9 hours, so I was so tired.

Tomorrow, it is the Coming-of-Age Day! In the morning, I went to a beauty salon at 5:30, so I have to get up early. I'm looking forward to putting on a long-sleeved kimono and meeting Marist friends.
